How to Enhance Local Culture in Restoration Projects
Tavares Duayer Arquitetura use a quite simple, yet very effective technique, to enhance local culture in their restoration project Alagoas House: they feature works by regional artists and keep colors and furnishings neutral, so to let local craftsmanship stand out. The renovation only took 15 days to be completed and the fast timing was facilitated by the use of cheap and common building materials, the workers were familiar to use. This is a great example of how thoughtful design can be sustainable, simple and awesome! Read more about the project here.
